1. Compatible with wider and deeper grooves (Micro Groove).
The diamond tip consists of a meticulously selected natural single-crystal octahedron. Precision work on the crystal allows for a wide range of grooves. The Super Analogue Stylus can safely be used on recent records which tend to have deeper grooves and with 30-280 micron grooves opposed to the simple conventional 30-80 micron.
2. Ultra-precision thinness and configuration results in supreme sound reproduction.
The stylus tip is of optimum height and a uniformly ultra-precision finish. The Super Analogue Stylus has a curvature with a smaller radius that was impossible with the Micro Ridge Stylus. As thin as a razor blade and machined with ultra precision, the stylus tip ensures unsurpassed fidelity.
3. Reduced distortion caused by needle abrasion.
The Super Analogue Stylus tip eliminates lateral and frontal abrasion. Since the curvature radius does not change, the stylus accurately traces without missing any delicate signals. This makes it perfect for reproducing high frequencies and wide dynamic range which require a highly precise radius for tracking the inner record grooves!
4. Polished finish that virtually preserves your record's grooves.
World-class polishing technique is used on each stylus. This is designed to preserve the details of the record groove structure for a very long time — virtually for the life of the vinyl.
5. Extreme quality testing with emphasis on performance.
Stringent quality inspections and tests using unique and high level technology are performed on all materials and at every level — from the manufacture of parts that transmit vibrations to the cartridge (the cantilever, magnet and wire) to the final assembly by skilled artisans.
For those seeking state-of-the-art and world-class excellence, there really is only one choice to elevate the performance of your phono cartridge - a Super Analogue Stylus.

VN5MR JICO SAS/R HG (HIGH GRADE) UPGRADE STYLUS REPLACEMENT FOR SHURE VN5MR STYLUS
SAS Tip
The tip of the Super Analog Stylus is carefully chosen from single-crystal natural diamonds. The laser-cut diamond closely resembles that of the cutting stylus used on a cutting lathe to produce the acetate master disks used in vinyl production. This allows the SAS tip to extract from the contours and recesses of the record groove details which were previously missed by other stylus profiles. Due to its wide contact area with the groove wall, the SAS can reproduce a more expansive bandwidth of information with higher fidelity. Tracking force: 1.25 ± 0.25g.
Cantilever
The four facets of SAS/R’s crystalline ruby cantilever taper toward the diamond tip. This tapered ruby cantilever design allows for lower moving mass, giving the SAS/R even greater ability reproduce vibrations in the record groove with precision, accuracy, speed, and fidelity.
NOTE: The VN5MR and VN5xMR are NOT interchangeable. Please confirm your cartridge / stylus number and select the suitable stylus.

JICO VN45HE SAS/Zirconia HG Replacement for Shure VN45HE Stylus - For US Sale Only
VN45HE JICO SAS ZIRCONIA HG (HIGH GRADE) UPGRADE STYLUS REPLACEMENT FOR SHURE VN45HE STYLUS
In the process of developing the "SETO-HORI" ceramic cartridge, which was launched in 2018, JICO found that material hardness is an important factor for determining sound quality. When researching for applicable materials, JICO finally decided on Zirconia. Since the mass of zirconia is larger than that of other materials often used as cantilevers, such as boron, JICO first reduced the mass by processing the cantilever into a hollow pipe shape. Moreover, they succeeded in suppressing split resonance and reducing the effective mass as seen from the tip of the stylus by covering the joint pipe to the middle of the surface of the cantilever. This covering also makes the cantilever close to tapered shape which is ideal.
As a result, JICO ultimately created the clear and precise sound, which was totally different from the preceding other cantilevers’ lineup (aluminum, boron, sapphire, and ruby). This was the sound JICO was seeking. It is available in very limited stock. Please take this unique opportunity to enjoy.
